USA up one nile by a crashing goal by Leroux. Assist on a beautiful cross in a display of speed, strength and ball handling. Keelin and Ellie have started both are playing well. Ellie in her right back and Keelin in the Mid.

There was no love for the USA today either in the stadium or the broadcasting booth. Announcer even said we used "quiestionable tactics" and "winning ugly". I thought we played to win and Germany was too little too late.

Agreed it was a huge non-call by the otherwise good performance by the AR on far side of the field. Center ref wears a head phone and is in constant communication with the fourth official, fifa mafia? The fans were pretty loud in favor of DPR. So calling back two against them might have been too much to ask. That game should have gone into overtime as France had the better posession. However, give it to the DPR for great counterattacking. They will give the US a game that is for sure.

However, I think this year's U-20s are better than the fourth place team in Russia the last go around. So I expect a real battle royale as the Koreans played a very punishing physical game against France. They have very quick feet and very solid defensively. They also seem to like to play defense and get the counter attacks going. France was using the offside trap very well. Until they got a non call which cost them the match.
